My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

“We aren’t sure,” Enzo said, glancing back at him. “But you’ve been spending a lot of time with her

lately. Has she ever mentioned anything about a vampire?”

“No,” Ray said, shaking his head quickly. “She’s never mentioned even knowing a vampire. I knew they

went to this school, but I thought they kept to themselves.”

“Usually, yes,” Enzo answered, nodding his head slowly. “But she was outside the dormitory for a

reason. I doubt Roderick lured her there.”

“She never mentioned anything,” Ray said, staring down at his hands. “Was the wound bad?”

“Bad enough where she needs surgery,” I muttered.

Ray was silent, but he nodded once. His face was filled with remorse and it was incredibly grim.

“Who called you?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.

“Your father,” he said, glaring at me.

Val growled at his forceful voice, and I had to take a deep breath to calm her. Before any more words

were exchanged, I heard footsteps coming from nearby, turning our attention to the doctor who

appeared before us.

“I’m looking for the parent or family member of Rachel Cornelia,” the doctor said, staring between all of

us.

“I’m her father,” Raymond was quick to say, standing to his fect.

“But we are all her family,” I said firmly, glaring at Ray and then back at the doctor. “Plus, my father is

the head of the Alpha Committee. Anything you need to say, you can speak freely.”

The doctor looked hesitant for a moment; he glanced at Raymon as if asking permission, which pi ssed

Val and me off.

After a brief moment, Ray finally nodded at the doctor and he seemed to have relaxed.

“Okay; well, Rachel is out of surgery, and she did very well,” he said, a light smile on his lips. “She’s still

sleeping, and it will take her a little bit to recover. But her vitals are good, and we think she’s going to

make a full recovery.”

I felt like I could finally breathe, I nearly fell over but thankfully, Enzo caught me.

“Thank you, doctor,” Raymond said, shaking his hand firmly. “Can we see her?”

“For right now, I’ll allow only one visitor. She’s in the recovery chamber and we try to minimize visitors

in that unit,” the doctor said to him.

Ray looked like he was about to step toward the doctor, but then he paused and looked at Enzo and

then at me.

I gave him a small nod.

“Go ahead,” I said, motioning for him to follow the doctor.

He gave me a grateful smile before leaving with the doctor to see Rachel.

Not before long, Becca returned to the waiting room. She looked as if she’d been crying as she shoved

her phone into her arm bag. She wiped her face with the back of her sleeve before joining us.

“She’s going to be okay,” I said quickly before she reached us.

She paused and looked at me through her tear-filled eyes.

“What?!” She gasped. “She’s out of surgery?”

“Yes,” I said, giving her a bright smile. “The doctor just came and told us. She’s going to be okay!”

“Oh, my goddess!” Becca breathed as she rushed toward me, wrapping her arms around me. We both

laughed through our tears as Enzo watched.

“Can we go see her?” Becca asked, pulling away from me and wiping away her tears.

“They are only letting one visitor in at a time,” Enzo explained before I could say anything. “Right now,

her

father is going to see her.”

“Oh, right. I saw him marching inside. He didn’t look happy,” she said, looking at me.

“He’s not,” I said in return. “But Enzo calmed him down.”

“Max calmed him down,” Enzo corrected.

I smiled at him and rubbed the top of Enzo’s head as if he were rubbing his wolf.

“And he did well,” I said teasingly.

“I’m so relieved,” Becca said, and I could see the color returning to her face.

I turned to face Enzo wanting to melt back into his arms; as if he could read my mind, he wrapped me

in his arms and nuzzled his face in my hair, kissing me gently. I smiled up at him, so pleased that he

was with me right now.

He bent down and kissed me gently; I closed my eyes, basking in the incredible scent and feeling of my

mate. It was a feeling I never wanted to end; a feeling I was never truly prepared for.

He ran his fingers down my spine, sending chills throughout my body. But it was the good kind of chills;

the kind that formed happy goosebumps across my flesh and made me crave his touch even more.

Becca cleared her throat, reminding us that we were still in public.

“I don’t think I want to return to the campus,” she said, holding her body as if she was afraid she’d fall

apart. “I feel uneasy.”

“I agree,” I said, glancing at Enzo. “We are still in lockdown until the end of the week. Will they let us

stay off campus?”

“I’m sure your father can pull some strings,” Enzo said, nodding. “You can stay at my packhouse.” He

then glanced at Becca who still looked uneasy. “You can both stay at my packhouse.”

“Thank you, Alpha,” she said, giving him a faint smile.

We were interrupted by the sound of Enzo’s phone ringing; he pulled away from me, leaving me cold

and lonely, to answer the call.

“Yes, Alpha Ba stien?” He asked; my eyes widened at the mention of my father’s name.

He paused while my father spoke, but he didn’t look pleased. The longer the silence, the more upset

Enzo was looking. Worry built in my stomach as I stared at my mate.

Becca stepped closer to me, also worried.

“Okay, I’ll let them know. Also, I’m bringing Lila to my packhouse for safety reasons. Can you speak to

the headmaster about it?”

There was another silence before Enzo nodded, even though my father couldn’t see him.

“Okay, I’ll let them know. Thank you, Alpha.”

He hung up and looked over at me.

“He said he’s going to speak to the headmaster; he said to gather the rest of your friends too. He’s

worried- those close to Rachel might be in trouble. If she was stabbed, there’s no telling what else

could happen and to whom.

I nodded, but my eyes remained on him.

“What else did he say?” I said, knowing my mate very well.

He was hesitant for a moment but then he met my eyes.

“He said that evidence isn’t looking good in Rod’s favor,” he said slowly. “However, Scott is going to be

released from jail.”

“What?” I gasped. “Today?”

He nodded, keeping his eyes on mine.

“He’s coming to the packhouse as well,” Enzo continued. “Bas tien said that Scott remembered

something. But he won’t talk until everybody is together. Specifically, you, Lila.”
